The funny thing is we literally don't and may never know if it's a real story or not. Weird shit happens all the time, someone's bound to post about it.
I mean, its not completely outside the realms of possibility. I imagine regular frogposters arent the kind of people to go into therapy and talk about frogposting.
The psychology of 4chan users would certainly be interesting if dissected by professionals actually speaking with the users in person, definitely a paper worth reading. Not saying that its real, just that its not completely impossible.
I mean, it actually is completely outside the realms of possibility? You could lose your license for ambushing a patient with 2 other psychiatrists who haven't been previously approved by the patient to receive a case history.
Like, I was amused by the story, but let's not pretend this is has any relationship with a factual reality
no. additional psychiatrists is not a bad thing, and when studying an interesting case more psychiatrists is better. but the fact that anon was "ambushed" means either the story is fake or anon goes to a career oriented psychiatrist and not a patient oriented one.
The text doesn't necessarily need to be a 1:1 recounting of events. If this weren't fake, what would have been said is "Anon, I have these two other psychiatrists who I would like to assist me, is it okay for them to be present during our sessions"
Still a shitty thing to do when they could have just asked before hand as to not put them on the spot.
no serious psychiatrist would risk their patient trust pulling something like that. but there is a considerable percentage of non-serious psychiatrists out there.
but lets face it, a truly anonymous creator would be a career making case study.
Yes, psychiatrists are people. Yes, it's ok for them to consult, I've even had this happen (with a non-medical therapist, but same concept). The only thing I'm trying to emphasize here is that I gave permission for that to happen. Even if the psychiatrist was foolish enough to risk his license with this confidentiality breach, he wouldn't find two other psychs willing to participate in a like manner.
